Hi Kevin, Disabling packet bursting is something that needs to be done on your wireless router. Directions vary based on your router, but you are typically looking for an advanced wireless option labelled "Packet Bursting". Changing this option will likely cause your router to restart, or at least cause all wireless clients to lose their connection temporarily.
To change your wireless driver, you must install the ndiswrapper- utils-1.9, ndiswrapper-common and ndisgtk packages. Then, go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and disable the Broadcom STA driver. Once that's complete, reboot if asked. You will now need the Windows XP drivers for your computer, which for 32-bit systems can be downloaded from the HP driver download site for your laptop. Unpacking them will require the cabextract package. After unpacking them, go to System -> Administration -> Windows Wireless Drivers and search for the .inf file you just unpacked. This will get the drivers installed. You may have to edit /etc/modules (gksudo gedit /etc/modules) and add "ndiswrapper" as a line in that file to get wireless to work after a reboot.
